There’s been a story making the rounds about a lucky couple who hit the jackpot at a storage auction, finding a rare and highly collectible piece of movie memorabilia for a mere $100.

The 1976 Lotus Esprit, one of eight cars of this model used in the James Bond Film, “The Spy Who Loved Me”, had sat in storage for over a decade before being bought in a sight-unseen storage auction in 1989. The Long Island, NY, duo didn’t know the true value of their treasure until this iconic vehicle was authenticated after receiving a tip on its origin. Did we mention it’s also a submarine?

As the only vehicle used in the Bond film’s famous underwater scenes, the Lotus Esprit fetched top dollar at auction to a then-anonymous buyer, turning this $100 find into a $997,000 fortune.
